1.1 Introduction
Moringa oleifera is well known for its pharmacological actions and is used for the traditional treatment of diabetes mellitus (Babu & Chaudhuri, 2005). The oleifera species has been in existence as far back as early 2000 BC, and is one of the world’s most useful plants because of its medicinal properties (Kumar, Mishra, Ghosh& Panda, 2010). MO has its origin in Agra and Oudh, in the northwest region of India, south of the Himalayan Mountains (Mishra, Singh, Verma, Kumar, Srivastav, 2011). Moringa oleifera MO is also used as stimulants, expectorant, and antilithic. Furthermore, it also provides a local solution to malnutrition (Mishra, Singh, Verma, Kumar & Srivastav, 2011).
